On today's episode of the People First Podcast we are interviewing Andy, one of the Trustees from the local Bradford Disability Football Club. This is a very exciting interview organised by our member Oliver who also plays for BDFC. We learnt lots more about the Football Club and how they use Sport to support adults with learning disabilities. There're a lot of Football Fans on our team so this was a really fun topic to cover. We hope you enjoy the show!
